:08:00
Mr Stringer, how many detective
novels have we read over the years?
:08:04
Impossible to say,
Certainly hundreds,
:08:06
Yes, which gives us a certain
knowledge of the criminal mind?
:08:11
Most assuredly,
:08:12
Well, this is where we put
that knowledge to the test,
:08:16
- We?
- Yes, we!
:08:23
So it has come in!
:08:25
Oh, has it?
:08:26
Well, I think I have first call,
:08:29
You won't like it, Too obvious,
The mother did it, of course,
:08:32
How do you know? It's just come in,
:08:34
It always is with Falcon Smith,
A deprived child, you know,
:08:40
Crumpets for tea,
Mr Stringer, if you care to join me,
:08:43
Indeed I would, Miss Marple,
:08:50
Ah, yes, here we are,
:08:52
I calculate the five o'clock express
to Brackhampton overtook my train
:08:57
somewhere about there,
:08:59
How can you be sure?
:09:01
The ticket collector said
five minutes to Brackhampton,
:09:04
He came in more than a minute
after the murder,
:09:07
So that makes it six minutes before
Brackhampton at, say, 30 mph,
:09:14
So... about there!
:09:17
The body, Miss Marple?
:09:19
That was thrown from the train
between here and Brackhampton,
:09:23
- The police found nothing,
- Of course not,
:09:26
The murderer returned before the
search and disposed of the body,
:09:30
By Jove, the police will want
to investigate now,
:09:33
They say there is no investigation,
:09:36
- Surely, a fresh search...
- Yes, but we will conduct our own,
:09:41
- Eh?
- Yes, Mr Stringer,
:09:43
I recommend
a hearty breakfast tomorrow,
:09:46
You and I are going to take
an early morning walk!
:09:58
There must be something somewhere,
